Trump Suggests Lee Harvey Oswald Had Help in JFK Assassination

In an interview with Clay Travis, Trump reaffirmed Oswald's role while hinting at possible assistance, following the release of JFK assassination files that revealed no groundbreaking details.

An 'X' marks one of the approximate locations where former U.S. President John F. Kennedy was shot, at the Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, U.S., March 18, 2025.

Overview

  • Donald Trump stated he believes Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy but suggested Oswald may have had assistance.
  • Trump made these remarks during an interview with Clay Travis aboard Air Force One, part of his broader media strategy using alternative platforms.
  • As president, Trump ordered the release of thousands of previously withheld JFK assassination documents, which were made public without redactions.
  • The released files did not uncover any significant new information about the assassination, a point Trump described as 'unspectacular' but potentially positive.
  • This effort aligns with Trump's broader push for declassifying historical files, including those related to other high-profile cases like the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.
